How do I stop Word creating new normal.dot templates?
Each time I open Word 2002 [Office XP Professional], it creates a new
template called "normal.dot" in Application Data/Microsoft/Templates. This has caused the computer to seize up if a document with a logo or textbox is opened. When the template is deleted the problem is solved. How do I stop the creation of this template? |

You can't stop it, nor should you. It is an essential system file that will
be created when it doesn't exist.
